The TaxLaw Rewrite Project of HM Revenue and Customs was a major effort to re write the entire tax legislation of the United Kingdom in a format which is both more consistent and more understandable. It aimed to remove archaic language and impenetrable terminology from taxlaw and to replace it with modern language and terminology. The project was initiated in 1997 and produced five pieces of primary legislation and one piece of secondary legislation . A sixth and seventh bill went before Parliament. The project focussed purely on primary legislation but special dispensation was given to the re writing of the regulations governing PAYE by the project. The project began its work with the legislation covering capital allowance s and the first legislation passed thanks to the project was the Capital Allowances Act 2001 . The project then moved on to consider income tax . Three pieces of primary legislation relating to income tax the Income Tax Earnings and Pensions Act 2003 , the Income Tax Trading and Other Income Act 2005 and the Income Tax Act 2007 have been passed by Parliament. Their main change is to remove the concept of schedules from British income taxlaw. Previously income was assessed in one of six schedules labelled from A through to F depending on its source.

Expert subject Taxation date November 2008 In taxlaw , amortization refers to the cost recovery system for intangible property . Although the theory behind cost recovery deductions of amortization is to deduct from cost basis basis in a systematic manner over an asset s estimated useful economic life so as to reflect its consumption, expiration, obsolescence or other decline in value as a result of use or the passage of time, many times a perfect match of income and deductions does not occur for policy reasons. Depreciation A corresponding concept for tangible asset s is depreciation . Methodologies for allocating amortization to each tax period are generally the same as for depreciation. However, many intangible asset s such as goodwill or certain brands may be deemed to have an indefinite useful life, or self created and are therefore not subject to amortization. ref House Report No. 103 111, 103rd Congress, 25 May 1993. ref In the United States of America The United States Congress gives taxpayers larger deductions in the early years of an asset s useful life. Intangible property Intangible property which is subject to amortization is described in 26 U.S.C. 197 c 1 and 197 d and must be property held either for use in a trade, business, or for the production of income. Before 1993, the Internal Revenue Code United States Tax Code did not contain provisions for cost recovery of intangible assets rather, the intangible assets were depreciated under the current provisions for depreciation of tangible assets, 26 U.S.C. 167 and 168. However, the problem before 1993 was that many intangible assets did not meet the burdensome requirements of 167 and 168 because intangible assets can not necessarily be subject to wear and tear .

Orphan date February 2011 The sponge tax was a US state level Estate tax United States estate tax linked to the calculation of the federal estate tax. States with this tax collected the amount allowable as a tax credit to the federal estate tax if paid in state estate taxes. In practice, this additional estate tax was levied directly at the state level but generated a tax credit against the federal tax up to a specified amount. Under a sponge tax regime, the estate will pay no more in total federal and state estate taxes than it would have paid if there were no state estate tax. This meant that estate planning that produced the best federal estate tax result would automatically produce the best state estate tax result. The state estate tax gets its name because the state is sponging off the federal tax. The 2001 Federal Tax Act phased out the federal credit, completely eliminating it in 2005. The federal estate taxlaw did replace the credit with a much lower deduction for state estate taxes paid. The effect of the elimination of the federal credit has generally been the creation of state level estate taxes to replace the lost revenue.
